[Equest-users] DOE22 weather processor

[Chris Jones]

I should have added that this is more of an annoyance than anything 
else.   The RUN-PERIOD is used to align January 1st, the holidays, 
etc. with the weather file data.

It doesn't really matter what year is represented in the TRY data 
file or INP file, DOE2 uses the run-period to determine weekends, 
holidays, etc.
